Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

HBO has released a new trailer for Game of Thrones season 7, and this time it's one with actual footage in it.

The just shy of two-minute clip sees fighting talk from Cersei, who is heard telling presumably Jaime: "Enemies to the east. Enemies to the west. Enemies to the south. Enemies to the north. Whatever stands in our way, we will defeat it. We're the last Lannisters. The last ones who count."

Daenerys is similarly hell-bent on domination though, declaring: "I was born to rule the Seven Kingdoms and I will."

Littlefinger knows there's more important matters at hand, i.e. the White Walkers, telling Sansa: "Your father and brothers are gone yet here you stand. The last best hope against the coming storm."

But Ser Davos puts it best: "If we don't put aside our enmities and band together we will die, and then it doesn't matter whose skeleton sits on the Iron Throne."

Plot spoilers you'll find if you watch closely: Yara Greyjoy and Ellaria Sand getting it on, a battle between Euron, his niece and nephew, and the Dothraki (presumably led by Daenerys), Arya heading north, Greyworm dramatically getting his shirt ripped open, Jorah looking severely greyscaled.

Oh, and a *big one*: Jon Snow throwing Littlefinger against a wall in the Winterfell crypts - this is where a statue of Lyanna Stark lives, so maybe he's just learned about his true parentage?

Game of Thrones season 7 begins on HBO and Sky Atlantic 25 June.
